The public open house for the Deseret Peak Utah Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints begins this week in Tooele, Utah — located about 35 miles southwest of Salt Lake City.
Media attended a news conference and toured the new house of the Lord on Monday, September 23, 2024. Those participating in the event included Elder Kevin W. Pearson, President of the Utah Area; Elder Steven R. Bangerter, General Authority Seventy; and Primary General President, Susan H. Porter.
“For me, there’s always a sense of excitement and enthusiasm and anticipation, as I have the opportunity to explain what happens in these sacred houses of the Lord and why it’s so important to us as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,” said Elder Pearson.
“The meaning of the temple to us runs deep. It fills every fiber of our being. It informs our understanding of God, our Eternal Father, and our relationship to Him and our beloved Savior Jesus Christ,” added Elder Bangerter.
The location of this temple has special meaning for President Porter.
